Introduction |
Use this guide to replace a broken screen (a.k.a. display or front panel assembly) on an iPad Pro 10.5”. The screen consists of a glass touch panel or digitizer fused to an LCD. This entire assembly must be replaced as a single unit. | | Note that the fingerprint scanner in the home button is paired to the iPad's logic board. In order to maintain Touch ID functionality after your repair, you must keep the original home button and transfer it onto the new screen as instructed below. | | This repair can fix issues like a cracked glass digitizer, a non-responsive touchscreen, or a broken LCD. | | You’ll need '''replacement adhesive''' to reattach components when reassembling the device. | | '''Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.''' |
